When one thinks of New Zealand, especially the Otago region, it’s the diverse landscape that usually springs to mind (thanks you Peter Jackson), something Sarak-Kate Dinneen has in a way mimicked in the incredible variety of flavours in this. Exotic fruits, touches of ginger and spice, and a satisfyingly crunchy consistency, which makes this rather moreish. Aroma of pear, so often associated with this wine, and sweet-yet-slightly-yeasty brioche. There’s a viscosity to this, which gives a nice weight, and a silky smooth mouth feel (languid would be the word that describes it best).
